The visualization in this exercise represents a break-even analysis for Pops Planes., a small passenger airline, catering to tourists travelling between Hawaiian Islands. The break-even analysis shows the number of passengers (units) in the left column and sales dollars in the right column for each month of the fiscal year. The blue portion of the bar charts represents the number of units (left) or dollars (right) required each month to break even while the grey portion represents the actual units or dollars sold each month. The percentage values in the center represent the extent to which actual sales exceeded break-even sales. Finally, the center column compares actual sales to break-even sales based on company management expectations as follows:

• Not meeting or exceeding break-even sales of less than 50% is below expectations (red dot).
• Exceeding break-even sales from 50% to 100% is meeting expectations (yellow dot).
• Exceeding break-even sales greater than 100% is exceeding expectations (green dot).
